 be engraved ibr the new iUustrated e(htion of Cuvier's Eil'gne AniniaL^ The puh- 

 Hcations of Bory de St. ^'ineent'" and of Tilesius,'' which next I'olhjw, are interesting

 Meyen/'^ Patterson,'" Forljes, Goodsir,'" and Ilynihnan,'' add new species to our Usts, 

 and new facts respecting species ahvady known. Bosc's'^ Natural History of the

 range of our knowledge ))y special investigations, the systematic writers of this period
